The Church can’t afford to let the dust settle ... its job is to kick up dust right now to make it perfectly clear that the church has some boundaries that cannot be breached, especially by a priest and most especially at one of the most visible “Catholic” institutions in the USA.
Should the hierarchy let this pass, and then quietly axe Jenkins, it will have lost its credibility on this issue. The authority of the RCC as premier spokesmen on the issue of life will be lost, approximately forever.
Letting Obama speak at commencement, then axing Jenkins, would be no different than the RCC givng a wink and a nod to a woman walking into an abortion mill, then chastising her after her abortion, saying, ‘gosh, you shouldn’t have done that!’
However inadvertently, the NDU/Obama issue has become a point of no return for the RCC.
